11:56:59 From David Huppert to Everyone: Welcome everyone! 12:02:07 From Amber Samdahl to Everyone: Public Media Innovators https://publicmedialearns.instructure.com/courses/237/wiki 12:02:42 From Amber Samdahl to Everyone: Applied AI for Public Media: Marketing, Social, and Digital Strategy Tuesday May 13, 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET https://uwmadison.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7Ohi2jNYSeWMjs6N2gua4A 12:07:28 From Catherine Warren/FanTrust to Everyone: Great session kick-off. Do we receive these slides? 12:09:20 From Ethan Toven-Lindsey to Everyone: We absolutely will share the slides. 12:09:50 From Catherine Warren/FanTrust to Everyone: Super, thanks from Vancouver! 12:10:41 From Deb Herbold to Everyone: YES! That human connection is soooo important right now! 12:11:39 From Sophia Saliby to Everyone: I'm very AI skeptical, but I like the focus on not replacing voices. Interested on learning more 12:12:57 From Chad Davis to Everyone: The trick is how to use these tools to let us spend more time being human. So much of a work day is automatic tasks and routines. Can these tools help us spend less time on that and more time on the things that help us be more human (especially connecting with other humans). 12:14:33 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Connect with Ethan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ethanlindsey/ 12:14:53 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Connect with Ernesto on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eaxlr/ 12:15:13 From Shane Gronholz to Everyone: As my NY Times podcasts like to remind me, AI cannot replace boots on the ground reporting. However, it can grab that reporting and present it to the user, say, if they asked something like Perplexity: give me a summary of the top 10 news stories this morning. This would circumvent the actual producers of the reporting. I realize this is beyond your control and remit, but I would be curious about any of panelists reactions to this. 12:15:46 From Maxie Jackson to Everyone: I’m most interested in how this can assist public media in reaching broader audiences. Can AI be ethnically, culturally sensitive? 12:17:58 From Kristian Knutsen to Everyone: Are you concerned that the use of an AI headline generator for ideas, even if only at that level, could incentivize the atrophy of skills of journalists and editors to use their brains and be creative on their own? 12:18:12 From Ezra Wall to Everyone: Real examples of tools in actual use (even experimental) are really appreciated. Can you mention cost or other membership factors as well? 12:19:48 From Sophia Saliby to Everyone: I do use Otter for my interview transcripts and go through transcripts several times just to use it over, and it works pretty well. They've introduced a summary tool but I haven't yet used it 12:21:03 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Decsript pricing: https://www.descript.com/pricing 12:21:26 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Otter.ai pricing: http://otter.ai/pricing 12:22:04 From Jeremy Ruggles to Everyone: google pinpoint can also do transcriptions for free for journalists 12:22:14 From Chad Davis to Everyone: We often see Otter bots attending these webinars for/with attendees (including this one, right now). 12:23:03 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Thanks Jeremy. I hadn’t heard of that one. 12:24:05 From Chad Davis to Everyone: https://replit.com/ 12:24:30 From Chad Davis to Everyone: https://deepgram.com/contact-us 12:24:42 From Sarah Downs to Everyone: If you use adobe, they can transcribe as well. 12:25:34 From Alli Rico to Everyone: Yeah I use Adobe when I need a quick transcription/captions and it’s easy to edit 12:26:14 From Amy Shumaker to Everyone: Our reporters love Otter over some of the other options. 12:28:45 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Amy, very cool. I believe the NPM newsroom also uses Otter in some fashion. 12:29:01 From Ezra Wall to Everyone: Plain old Microsoft Word has a decent-not-great transcription tool. If you already have Office through work, it's free. If you're on a budget, it's OK. 12:31:09 From Maxie Jackson to Everyone: Instead of piecemeal approaches, is there a turnkey solution for AI that does all of these different things? 12:31:41 From Sophia Saliby to Everyone: Is KQED's website and app developed and maintained in house? 12:32:21 From Michelle Parker to Everyone: Sophia - yes it is 12:32:56 From Sophia Saliby to Everyone: Got it Thinking about the amount of control over content and coding 12:34:18 From Carson Risser to Everyone: (I'm sorry if this was discussed already and I missed it.) How have y'all handled privacy concerns about transcription software (or other AI software) using the content you feed it? Have you found software that handles your data privately instead of using it to train the software? 12:35:00 From Susan Cadot to Everyone: I think you can create a closed AI system, Carson, but I'm not sure how. 12:35:54 From Jeremy Ruggles to Everyone: You would have to run a model locally which is a pretty large complicated project currently. You should assume anything entered into an online LLM is being saved by them 12:37:16 From hannah rothblatt to Everyone: What is the purpose of using AI to pull advanced metadata from archives? 12:37:41 From Catherine Warren/FanTrust to Everyone: I’m part of a team that’s developed a fair and transparent marketplace to compensate rights holders for audiovisual content used to train AI Platforms. If you would like to learn more or explore this new revenue model, please reach out cath@fantrust.com 12:38:03 From Stephanie Cook to Everyone: This is all awesome! Privacy is the biggest issue we’re tackling as a state agency. We’re trying to balance the innovation/efficiency with the questions about security risks. 12:38:17 From Michelle Parker to Everyone: https://youthmedia.kqed.org/gen-ai-guidelines 12:38:35 From Jeremy Ruggles to Everyone: @hannah the cost of doing it manually would be astronomical and time consuming 12:40:47 From Deb Herbold to Everyone: It all moves and develops so fast. Some of our stations move relatively slowly...so a challenge for us would be how to use/develop AI effectively but also be flexible enough to grow and change as we go forward. 12:46:35 From Deb Herbold to Everyone: Brilliant. Great guidance. 12:47:53 From Chad Davis to Everyone: I try to update our AI Policy (for wider review) at NPM every 6 months, or so. I don’t always hit that mark but that has felt like the right rhythm thus far. 12:51:57 From Jeremy Ruggles to Everyone: Given google is moving towards AI replacing search engines, is there any consideration for teaching journalists 'jail break' techniques or running models locally if/when information gets suppressed in LLMs (which there is already evidence of) 12:54:45 From Brenda Bowyer to Everyone: Trint.com great for transcriptions and paper editing and it is designed by a journalist. 12:57:19 From Brenda Bowyer to Everyone: will there be access to the slides we have seen today? 12:57:22 From Sophia Saliby to Everyone: Will the slides and this session be sent through email after? 12:57:37 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Yes. And we’ll share the video as well. 12:57:42 From Sophia Saliby to Everyone: Thank you!! 12:57:58 From Tim Olson to Everyone: Got to drop. Thanks all 12:58:24 From Maxie Jackson to Everyone: Thanks for addressing my questions. 12:58:57 From Bonnie Zeng Chin to Everyone: Thanks Ethan, Ernesto, and Chad! :) 12:59:34 From Carson Risser to Everyone: That's helpful, thank you! 12:59:51 From Amber Samdahl to Everyone: Sign up for next month’s webinar about AI and Marketing here: 12:59:52 From Amber Samdahl to Everyone: Applied AI for Public Media: Marketing, Social, and Digital Strategy Tuesday May 13, 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET https://uwmadison.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7Ohi2jNYSeWMjs6N2gua4A 13:00:54 From Brenda Bowyer to Everyone: as @chad says, be the human in the room 13:01:34 From Kristian Knutsen to Everyone: Thank you. 13:02:06 From Deb Herbold to Everyone: Thanks to all of you humans. Very valuable! 13:02:12 From Rob Stewart to Everyone: @ernesto - Bingo! 13:02:29 From Rob Stewart to Everyone: All of this is incredibly helpful - thank you! 13:02:44 From Bryant Denton to Everyone: Thank you for today! 13:04:11 From Marcellus Jones to Everyone: Thank you all. Great webinar! 13:04:12 From Stephanie Cook to Everyone: Thanks so much! 13:04:19 From Brenda Bowyer to Everyone: has anyone designed a firewall that will keep AI info within "the building" 13:04:25 From Nicole Cox to Everyone: Thank you! 13:05:35 From David Huppert to Everyone: And stick around for Tech Summit on Thursday ;) 13:07:36 From Liz Adeola to Everyone: Thank you!
